Xenix GCC/gcc.c -l option fails to order libraries correctly

Xenix GCC works great..Hats off to Steve Bleazard
Here's a minor quibble: [as of patch including #pragma pack support]
If you try to force the linker to search Slibc.a before a local library
(say libfoo.a) using 'gcc -o foo -lc libfoo.a foo.o' you're out of luck...
gcc will pass libfoo.a to linker prior to Slibc.a.
C News in fact uses this trick in libstdio/Makefile...the result
being that stdiock.stock and stdiock.fast are identical unless you
modify the Makefile. Of course, stiock.fast fails on my Xenix 386. :-)
